NHTSA Complaint #10525930 — 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

FIRST AND FOREMOST, I SEE 822 PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS (MOST REFER TO THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS) WITH NO SIGN OF ANY INTENT BY THE NHTSA-ODI OR THE MANUFACTURER TO RESPOND AND/OR RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS: VEHICLE REPEATEDLY LOSES POWER AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. POWER DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY FROM BOTH INTERIOR SWITCHES AND THE KEY FOB; WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ANY OF THE 5 DOORS FROM INTERIOR. MANUALLY ABLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS INDIVIDUALLY. UNABLE TO LOCK BACK HATCH WITH KEY FOB OR FROM INSIDE VEHICLE THEREFORE, VEHICLE REMAINS UNLOCKED. BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS AND POWER HATCH STOPPED WORKING. OTHER MECHANICAL PROBLEMS: VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES DOWNHILL; NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MY NEIGHBORS HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2005 TOWN AND COUNTRY. BOTTOM LINE: THIS IS A WIDESPREAD SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ACTION. UNFORTUNATELY, AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE BELOW, IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT ANY OF US WILL EVER SEE A RESPONSE BY THE MANUFACTURER, NHTSA-ODI OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO INTENT TO ADMIT RESPONSIBILITY AND HELP CONSUMERS RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT ACTION BY THE NHTSA-ODI WE AS CONSUMERS DO NOT STAND A CHANCE IN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
